Getting hitched is quite possibly the most important decision you will ever have to make in your life. Alongside having children, marriage is one of those things that the majority of us harbour hope of doing someday, but the thought of it can often be pretty daunting and intimidating.
However, while marriage can undoubtedly be a beautiful thing, it also has its troubles and travails that can it make arduous and frustrating at times. Luckily for us, we are in the digital age, which means that these quips, stories and situations that make marriage so hilarious/annoying, can be documented online.
The below list are just some of the best tweets regarding marriage, with many of them explaining married life to a tee in just 140 characters.
1. Is that a new world record?
2. Sometimes you just can't avoid chores
3. Sharing is caring
4. Who wears the trousers?
5. Sometimes it's better to hide the truth
6. The best feeling
7. All that work for one pun... worth it
8. Never get a joint bank account
9. Who needs a notepad?
10. To be fair, it's a pretty important question
11. "I can't find it anywhere!"
12. "Strange noise" AKA the pub
13. There definitely is
14. What a hero
I'm sure a lot of you can relate to quite a few of these, while others are a bit less relatable.
Married life can be tough, but funny little moments like these make it a lot more easy. While our partners can be annoying, if you love them, you can battle through most things. Although, saying that, if my partner kept putting mugs on our lawn strictly for a pun, it would wear a little bit thin.
Twitter is a strange place. I often regard it as the greatest website in the world, purely because it is complete madness at times. Among the political rants, trolls and racism, you can find the dankest memes, incredible stories, and in some rare cases; you can find love.
This is certainly the case for the following couple who found love in the strangest way and are now set to get married, all thanks to Twitter.
Say hello to Madison O'Neill and Chuck Dohrmann, an adorable young couple who are set to have the most interesting story to tell their children about how they met.
It's safe to say that people my age (early-mid twenties) will go down as the "Tinder Generation". We will be the generations of moms and dads that met on Tinder, had an awkward first date at a bar with awful conversation and then went on to get hitched and have children. However, while meeting on an app is common for a lot of young couples these days, Madison and Chuck's story is a bit more unique.
It all started in October 2015 when Madison sent out an innocuous tweet looking for a date to a friends wedding.
Amazingly, her request was answered by Chuck Dohrmann, who slid into Madison's DM's and began laying the foundations for the relationship which was to follow.
In a recent tweet, O'Neill said that she and Dohrmann had attended the same high school but they weren't friends and never really spoke to each other.
"We went to the same high school but he was a grade older and I always thought he was obnoxious," wrote O'Neill. "But we didn't actually know each other."
Despite the fact that the pair didn't really know each other, they attended the wedding together and they seem to have had a pretty good time, because here they are two years later:
Look at that! If you wade through the murky waters of rants, trash and troll on Twitter, you might find your potential life partner. Love is everywhere, and this story is testament to that.
Unsurprisingly, the Twittersphere was very happy for the couple, with many people gushing over the story as well as requesting an invite to the wedding in the hope that they will meet their potential fiancé.

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/willwest25/status/915590770740080640]]
Can you genuinely imagine the conversation they will have when they eventually end up having children?
Kid: "Mom and Dad, how did you meet?"
O'Neill: "Well, it all started when Mommy put out a tweet, which could only be 140 characters at this time, asking for a date to a wedding. Daddy slid into Mommy's DM's and the rest, as they say, is history".
In all fairness, it's a lovely story and congratulations to both of them on their engagement, we wish them all the best for the future. If you're after more heartwarming news, why not check out these 15 stories that prove you can fall in love at anytime.
It's no secret that marriage is the ultimate commitment. Unless you're incredibly lucky, chances are that you'll have more than a few failed relationships under your belt before you meet "the one".

[post_page_title]Dat Butt Hot[/post_page_title]
When wooing your better half, it's easy to be romantic, but sometimes, your inner kinky demon can't help but make an appearance. Case in point, this fridge magnet poem...
One of the more useful stereotypes about women is that they tend to keep tabs on every time in their home, even when said items are located in very odd places. "Asked my wife where my eye drops were," this husband wrote. "She responded 'in the bedroom on the TV stand under the lightswitch slightly trapped between the wall'."
When you're living with someone else, you also have to live with their belongings, and sometimes, they are items which you'd rather were in the trash. So this man decided to take hilarious action: "For the past two years, anything sitting in our garage that the wife says we can't get rid of, I've hung as 'art' in our otherwise useless front room," he wrote.
[post_page_title]What A Compliment![/post_page_title]
When women are pregnant, their changing bodies can affect their self-esteem, which is why it's so important that their partners do everything they can to keep them feeling confident.

When you're having an argument with your partner, it's all too easy to let your emotions get the best of you.

In long term relationships, you sometimes have to schedule sex. Once the honeymoon period has long past, if you want to get down and dirty, you have to get creative when it comes to your hints. Like this husband...
[[imagecaption|| Dreadful Dreadlocks]]
This husband captioned this picture: "Trying to send subtle hints to my wife last night." This is beyond genius (and hilarious). I hope for the sake of comedians everywhere that he got laid.
Though marriage might be becoming an increasingly outmoded concept in our rather transient modern society, still many couples choose to take the solemn vow of a life time together. Of course, with a considerable proportion of marriages now ending in divorce, that promise of a lifetime is perhaps not as solid as it once was.
With that rather depressing thought in mind, then, here are some people who were given the devastating news that their spouse wanted a divorce via text message.
1. She couldn't even be bothered to walk to the next room
2. It wasn't my fault, I swear!
3. A neat illustration of the problem
4. Why not double down on the misery?
5. The classic combination
6. A good point well made
7. Horrific
8. Sounds like you're better off out of it
9. "Ur dumped"
10. A view from the other side
11. No one is that good at texting
12. Goodness
13. Nothing like a bit of dog sitting to clear the head...
14. What on Earth did she do on Friday, I wonder?
15. Young love is tough
Well that was a little bit melancholy, wasn't it? Try not to give up on love altogether, though, there's someone out there for everyone.
A man has shared his six rules for a successful marriage and people have been in overwhelming agreement.
Writer Ryan Stephens took to Twitter to share his rules back in 2019 and explained that they were adopted by him and his wife as they looked to work together as being a team and not soulmates, as per Bored Panda.
Ryan's first rule was simple: "No one should ever hear anything bad about your spouse from you."
He explained: "It's one thing to joke with friends about something trivial and quite another to demean your spouse's character. Know the difference and always discuss the latter with your spouse and no one else."
The second rule was this: "You should overcommunicate because no one is a mind reader. And when miscommunications happen, you should always give the other person the benefit of the doubt."
Ryan and his wife's third rule was trying new things together.
He wrote: "Even if one of you is typically more adventurous than the other, have fun with it. Trying new things gets an individual out of their comfort zone and is often easier as a couple, allowing you both to grow stronger together."
The fourth rule was being each other's champion.
Ryan wrote: "Bring home champagne after a promotion at work, back each other up when engaging in that battle with your heathen toddler, work out together, etc. Never cut the other person down when they're struggling."
The couple's penultimate rule involves being grateful for each other's contributions to the marriage - no matter how small.
Lastly, Ryan and his wife have the rule to always respect each other, and this is a rule that's especially important to put into practice around other people.
Reacting to the rules, one Twitter user wrote: "Ryan, all of this is brilliant. i'd even add, ALL of this advice is applicable in coparenting situations as well [sic]."
A second wrote: "Agree! My parents were married for 55 yrs and I can say, I never once saw or over heard them disrespecting each other. It really helped guide my coparenting style with my ex [sic]."
A third added: "25 years this year. Agree with all of these. 'Don't keep score' is probably the most important. 99% of our fights revolve around this."
Meanwhile, a fourth wrote a bonus seventh rule, joking: "7. Always high-five after sex & say 'Good Game Team!'"
